DH had a brief thing with a female teacher ay 16.

Not something he boasts about. I should bloody think not !!!

But if it was a 17 year old girl leaving to live with her ex-teacher would we see it differently? Reminds me of the thread about Jeremy Forrest a few months ago. I would be as devastated as this mother whether it was my son or my daughter. And equally disapproving of the teacher in question.

Just been reading the story in the news about the 17yr old who has left home to live with his ex Teacher.
The Mothers reaction was that her and her family's life was over and so was her son's.
I agree it was wrong of the teacher to have sex with one of her pupils. But the Mother should surely have seen it for what it was/is. He was 17 with raging hormones. I asked my OH what he would have done if a young pretty teacher had come on to him. He said he would have done what any 17 yr old would do.
If she really thinks that this is the worst that can happen, she has led a very charmed life.
